Earlier in the day, there was a lot of action at the reception venue. The ballroom was done up with colourful flowers and golden lights. The decoration was by Balkrishna, a Hyderabad-based florist and decorater. There was tight security at the entrance to the hotel. The city’s police and traffic police was called in to keep a check on the guests entering the venue, besides the hotel’s security personnel.

In the afternoon, Pakistani cricketer Sohail Tanveer said, “I’m happy for Shoaib and Sania. I’m pleased to be here for this wonderful occasion, and we bring with us tons of wishes from Pakistan. I would say this is Shoaib bhai’s best innings so far, and Sania bhabhi’s best game set and match! May Allah bless them.”

Also present was Pakistan’s federal minister for population welfare, Firdous Ashiq Awan, along with other delegates like Zulfikquar Malik, a leading businessman from Sialkot, Imran Rafique Towne, president of Sialkot cricket association, and Syed Mohammad Fawad Sher, first secretary (political) from the Pakistani high commission in India. Awan presented a golden crown studded with semi precious stones to Sania. Talking about Sania and Shoaib’s wedding, she said, “Pakistan mein log bahut khush hain Sania aur Shoaib ki shaadi ki khabar sun kar. Humein khushi hai ki Sania aur Shoaib ki shaadi mein hum shaamil ho sake. The crown represents the taj gifted to our bahu… Humari dua hai ki woh dono khush rahein.” The Pakistani delegates are expected to fly back to Pakistan on April 21. The buzz is that both Shoaib and Sania are also expected to leave for Pakistan on the same day.
